No it's called an opinion.

I'll meet you halfway. Yours is an ignorant opinion.

Speedskating is an individual sport
and Shani Davis was right to blow off some made up "team" ****.
This is the first time in the history of Olympic speedskating
that a "team" event was on the venue and the American Federation
(which has screwed Davis so bad over the years he trains in
Canada and doesn't take their money) recruited him at the last
second.

So maybe he can race in the, ahem Olympics, as his own country? I heard or
read, i forget which, his interview where he called the sponsoring body "his
enemy" so wtf is he doing on the "team"? Because that "team" is his meal
ticket.

There is no "team". He earned the right to skate in the Olympics
on his own, by himself, from a training site in Calgary. He is
from Chicago, a citizen of the US, so he skates as an American
but he isn't on the American "team" because in his sport there
is no "team".
